Arsene Wenger: 'Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain rumours untrue'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted that recent reports linking Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain with a move to Liverpool are wide of the mark.

The England international was tipped to make a surprise mid-season switch to Anfield after previously hinting that his future lies away from North London.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp was the first to dismiss the speculation on Thursday, labelling the recent talk as "nonsense", and Wenger has now followed suit by claiming that there is no substance to the press reports.

Asked if there was any truth to it, the Frenchman told reporters: "No. We all have to face a lot of wrong information. We have to live with that. We cannot influence that."

Oxlade-Chamberlain has made 23 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions this season, with 11 of those coming from the bench.
